Last night was a beautiful, warm and moonless night. You didn't need to go far from the village to get the most amazing sky-scape. No telescopes required it was all just there - layer upon layer, from the bright to the milky way 'cloud'. A mind boggling look back in time. PK

Save money - visit Switzerland

Despite what the press say skiing in Switzerland doesn't have to be expensive. Zinal and Val d'Anniviers ranks in the Where 2 Ski & Snowboard list as good value. The only other Swiss resort is Meiringen. That makes it better value than many French resorts.Money saving ideas- book your air ticket well in advance- buy your transfer ticket before you arrive.- book your lift ticket in advance- book a room in a catered chalet- ask for a picnic lunch- take a flask for hot drinks on the mountain- bring snacks with you

In the beginning...

We came to Zinal to ski and somehow ended up as the owners of an old Auberge. As souvenirs go it's more of a commitment than chocolate or cow bells, particularly when you consider the state it was in. But we wanted a project... This blog has followed the transformation of the building and what we have discovered in this corner of Switzerland. Thanks for visiting the site and we look forward to welcoming you at the chalet as a guest.
